[Verse]
      Am                                          C              Am
An  old cowboy went  riding out one  dark and windy  day,
        Am                                    C            Am
Up -  on a ridge he  rested as he  went along his  way,
           Am                                     F            Am
When  all at once a  mighty herd of  red-eyed cows he  saw,
Am                        F                           F        Am
Plowin' through the  ragged sky,   and   up a cloudy  draw,

         Am                                             C                  Am
Their  brands were still on  fire and their  hooves were made of  steel,
         Am                                                   C            Am
Their  horns were black and  shiny and their  hot breath he could  feel,
    Am                                                   F               Am
A  bolt of fear went  through him as they  thundered through the  sky,
           Am                  F                                           Am
For he  saw the riders  coming hard,   and he  heard their mournful  cry.


[Chorus]

                C                      Am
Yippe-ai -  oh,   yippee-a i-  ay,    (Coyote Yip)
F                              Am
Ghost  riders  in  the  sky,


[Break]
(One verse Instrumental Guitar & Banjo)


[Verse]
         Am                                                          C               Am
Their  faces gaunt, their  eyes were blurred, their  shirts all soaked with  sweat,
         Am                                           C                Am
He's  ridin' hard to  catch that herd but  he ain't caught them  yet,
                      Am                                     F          Am
Cause they've  got to ride for -  ever on that  range up in the  sky,
      Am                  F                   F                   Am
All  horses snortin'  fire,   as they  ride on, hear them  cry.

           Am                                    C               Am
As the  riders loped on  by him, he  heard one call his  name,
          Am                                               C         Am
If you  want to save your  soul from hell, a  ridin' on our  range,
         Am                                                 F
Then  cowboy change your  ways today or  with us you will  ride,
Am                        F                        F                   Am
Trying to catch the  devil's herd,   a -  cross these endless  skies.


[Chorus]

                 C                  Am
Yippe-ai -   oh,   yippee-ai -  ay,     (Coyote Yip)
F                              Am
Ghost  riders  in  the  sky,
F                              Am
Ghost  riders  in  the  sky,
F                              Am              11 bars
Ghost  riders  in  the  sky,             then fade
